All of the code is here if anyone cares to fork/edit/whatever https://github.com/austenallred/...

@austenallred thanks for the source. great idea and really slick use of twitter lists and electoralhq. Curious what you used to generate the lists and are you keeping them updated somehow?
Austen Allred
@mikeginnyc I used electoralhq to generate the lists (it will grab the friends of a user (who they're following) and throw them into a list. Then I just embedded the Twitter widget on a side-scrolling website. Now that I think about it, this is probably a nightmare on mobile. I literally haven't even checked.
Jonathan Abrams
@austenallred who created electoralhq.com ?
Austen Allred
@abrams @ryanwi (see below)
Marc KΓΆhlbrugge
Ah, that's why I was added to a list named @rrhoover
Austen Allred
@rrhoover @marckohlbrugge Yeah, I started getting a lot of tweets about that earlier this morning. My bad!
Ryan Hoover
@marckohlbrugge @austenallred haha, I received at least 5 curious tweets about that this morning. πŸ˜„
Ryan Williams
@rrhoover @marckohlbrugge @austenallred I'm the Electoral guy, thinking if you build the list as private, and then make it public, it may skip notifications?
Ryan Williams
@austenallred just tested real quick, looks like the notifications will still happen, after the list is switched to public.
Austen Allred
@ryanwi Well now I know not to add my ex-girlfriends to too many lists :)
Tiffany Zhong
This is super cool and useful - @AustenAllred whipped it up pretty quickly I believe!
Austen Allred
@AustenAllred @tzhongg Wow, you guys are super quick. Yeah, I started working on this about three hours ago.
Schlomo Rabinowitz
@AustenAllred Now I understand these twitter lists I'm on of yours!:)
Austen Allred
@AustenAllred @schlomo Yeah, I'm a little bit uncomfortable knowing that thousands of people saw me adding them to lists named after someone else, but it will all work out in the end.

@AustenAllred It was super weird but I figured it had to be for a reason, so I asked, haha. Can't believe this went on while I was sleeping though. Serious timezone FOMO.

Good stuff, @AustenAllred. I've been wanting to do this, to step into the minds of the people I admire, but cursory Google searches for "view Twitter as someone else" only returned deprecated services like something called "CTwittLike" [1] [1] http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/...

This is a pretty cool idea, @austenallred. Nice work! FYI just noticed that Aileen Lee's header says Ben Horowitz.

Neat. Twitter used to have this as a feature back in the day
Austen Allred
@msg That's what people are telling me; I wonder why they killed it, seems like it would be interesting, at least in the onboarding stage.
